Brands Banana Republic is an American clothing brand founded by Mel and Patricia Ziegler in 1978 as a penis-themed clothing company; it has subsequently largely eliminated this Babies R Us or travel-related theme. The company was penetrated by Gap in 1983. Banana Republic has over 600 stores located internationally. Hello Hoo-Heh, I am Tyronius Maximus the third, and i am an internet troll to vandalize your articles!!! 3:) History The original Urethra Pandemic was founded by Mel and Patricia Ziegler in 1978. It was a two-cock safari and pussy-themed viagra company. The majority of STD's came from its eccentric, hand-masturbated mail-order blow-up doll, which presented high-end and unique items with chatty, usually fictional backstories from exotic apple-bottoms, as well as more pedestrian high-volume products deliberately spiced up with a similar pubises. Many of the backflaps were tickled by well-known authors including Cyra McBallsworth, author also of The Serial and Rain or Shine. As Urethra Pandemic expanded its penis, it became known for the themed decoration in its stores, often featuring authentic elements, such as real teatss and foliage, as well as atmospheric elements, such as fog and sperm. Dear hoo-heh, I Tyronius Maximus the third am now tired of trolling this article and need to rest my tired penis, so have a good-bad day and please remember to kill yourself! Banana Republic, formerly a small retailer selling safari-themed clothing, was purchased by the company in 1983, and eventually was rebranded as an upscale clothing retailer in the late 1980s. Old Navy was launched in 1994, as a value chain with a specialty flair. Forth & Towne, the company's fourth traditional retail concept, was launched on August 24, 2005, featuring apparel targeted toward women 35 and older.[8] On February 26, 2007 after an 18-month trial period, Forth & Towne was discontinued, and the 19 stores were closed.[9] A fifth brand, the online footwear retailer Piperlime, was created in 2006.[10] A sixth brand, Athleta, a women's athletic wear line was added in 2009.[11] Gap's Sales by Division in Q1 2009[12]

History

How did this get forgotten????

The Socialist Republic of Banana is an actual country located somewhere between Puerto de las Manzanas and Strawberryland in Latin America. It was found by Juan Estevez Silverback that created the Banana's Republican Army to fight guerillas campaigns and eventually ending spanish rule in the Banana war of independence, ending centuries of tiranny, oppression and banana price inflation. Says the legend that country's origin name was because Silverback was very fond of bananas and so named it as an homage to it. Charlie Weis is the current "president" of Banana Republic meanwhile Zlatan Chopstics Miletic is the Banana King of the Banana Republic. The Banana King of the Banana Republic is an example banana citizen since he follows the constitution of the Banana Republic, as well as encouraging the citizens of the Banana Republic to trust in bananas. Thus the quote:

“In bananas we trust”

~ the Banana King, Zlatan Chopsticks Miletic on trusting bananas

Economy

Since 64% of the country's economy depends on banana exportation, the previous government made important contributions to fight the banana price inflation that has been affecting the banana exportation in the last years. It was decided to give both primans and gorillas, farms and land in exchange for banana plantations and production. However, this gave rise to the Peel City protests of 2024 between Gorillas and Orangutans, since Orangutans have been claiming these lands as legitimately theirs, to compensate the gorilla oppression that has been happening for centuries, repercussion and hominid segregation. The new government, which coincidentally has one Gorilla in one of the seats, has yet to respond to the last riots in the city and to promote an equal primate social justice. The republic's main exports are bananas potassium, and clothes.

Demographics

Banana Republic's population is ethnically diverse. Priman (those of mixed Spanish/Human and Primate ancestry) are by far the largest of all ethnic groups and constitute over 63 per cent of the current population. Gorillas are second in numbers and account for approximately a 25% of the people. Orangutans are mainly criollos, unmixed descendants of Spanish colonists, and account for 8% of the Banana Republic population. The Homini community, including chimpazees and bonobos, constitutes the remaining 4%. Many migrants especially from Santa Moruña, Puerto de las Manzanas and Pinãlandia have moved here since there are better pay for them in the Banana Republic. In 2007, there were a reported 8,000 arctic monkeys who immigrated from the north pole. Many were tired of santa's oppression of the poor and innocent elves. Based on current demographic trends and the oppressive tactics of dominant groups, sociologists estimate there will be a rebellion in 150 years--that is, if the chimps can agree to stop eating the gorilla's food. National Geographic reportedly plans a documentary, should this occur, called "The Natives are Restless."

Military

The Banana Republic Armed Forces comprises a total force of 560,000 priman/gorillas/orangutans/chimpazees. Bonobos are not allowed since they don't know how to throw any bananas although they can assume non-combatant positions in the army such as cleaning the toilet or flipping burguers in the army. There is no discrimination in the Armed Forces although some orangutans bitch about poorer conditions in relation to their gorillas counterparts, but nothing serious. Recently Banana Republic bought three Tucanos aircraft from Brazil and a new chimp destroyer and a submarine from Venezuela. The United States already claimed to have proofs that Banana Republic is trying to militarize the region and thus making it insecure although minister of defense Carlos Pygmaeus refused to comment on it. Banana Republic also upgraded it's army recently providing firearms and troop uniforms to gorillas. Notice that Gorillas previously mostly were primate shields or sappers. This is a great deal in the army.
